Default Painted brake calipers

I see a lot of painted brake calipers. Are you guys painting the stock calipers with high temp or special paint? Is it difficult?

Default easy to do, just takes time and patience

i left the calipers on the car and used foil an dtape to mask of the other areas.

99% of the time is prepping

you can get the $$$ paint, but i went with high temp paint from autozone for ~$3 a can.

looks great with a set of rings on there (never had a chance to put mine on)

Default use a plastic grocery bag to mask most of it....then tape & newspaper for the rest
